The jоurnаl аrticle "Cluster оf pоstinjection аbscesses related to corticosteroid injections and use of benzalkonium chloride" (Olson RK., Voorhees RE., Eitzen HE., Rolka H., and Sewell CM. 1999. Western Journal of Medicine 170(3): 143-147) documents a series of infections in 23 patients thought to have resulted from bacterial contamination of corticosteroid from multidose vials after the vial septa were wiped with a contaminated benzalkonium chloride (a quaternary ammonium compound) solution. Based on your knowledge of the following species of bacteria, which do you think would be most likely to have survived in (i.e., contaminated) the benzalkonium chloride solution, that was indeed identified as the pathogen in these cases?
